A Bit About Me!

I am a homeschooling mom of two amazing, intelligent children who fill my days with so much joy and I am the wife to the most wonderful husband. We are currently going into our third year of homeschool and honestly, it was never really the plan which means we stumbled and fell down a lot! By the grace of God and plenty of pots of coffee, we made it here and we continue to chug along. Which is one of the reasons I want to share our experiences with others, to show people that it’s okay for things to not look perfect! Our family also really enjoys new adventures, whether that be hiking a new trail, visiting a museum we’ve never been to before, road tripping together, or moving to a new city!
